Linlang was about to go, but was stopped by Liang Yunyan.
"When I first discovered the pregnancy-preserving medicine, I asked Ruosheng to invite a doctor. He will be here soon, so don't worry, Madam."
Linlang protected Chen Qingyin.
"Who knows who you invited here, and whether he can diagnose a pulse? What if he says black is white and slanders our eldest lady?"
Liang Yunyan pretended to be innocent: "I have no grudges against the Madam, so I will not harm her in this matter. Or does the Madam not dare to do so?"
Chen Qingyin smiled, very contemptuously.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Just find someone."
After saying that, Linlang dragged a chair over. Chen Qingyin turned her sleeves and sat on the chair. She looked particularly imposing while holding a cup of tea.
Hu Mianmian swung her little feet, took out the cakes she had brought from her bag, and ate them while watching the show.
It seems that she doesn't need to do anything, her mother can beat these people to a pulp.
At this time, Hu Lan stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Hu's sleeve.
"Mom, what are you doing? Today is your birthday. Why do you have to investigate this pregnancy-preserving drug? It will be so embarrassing if the news gets out."
However, Old Madam Hu stared at Chen Qingyin grimly.
It seems that she must teach Chen Qingyin a lesson today.
"The pregnancy-preserving medicine is no small matter. It concerns whether your brother has been betrayed. If someone really commits adultery in our house, I will never tolerate it. Our Hu family is a well-known family. Even if we are down and out, such a thing will never happen!"
Chen Qingyin nodded in agreement with Madam Hu's words: "Yes, we must investigate thoroughly. My reputation cannot be tarnished by anyone."
Aunt Gao helped Mr. Hu sit down beside her.
Mr. Hu frowned and wanted to see what the pregnancy-preserving medicine was all about.
After a while, Liang Ruosheng came with a doctor.
"Madam, this is the old doctor from Huichuntang on the street."
"Old doctor, since you are here, please check our Madam's pulse and see if she is pregnant."
"Yes." The old doctor bowed and stepped forward to take Chen Qingyin's pulse.
Chen Qingyin stretched out her hand, and Linlang covered her wrist with a handkerchief.
Liang Yunyan and Liang Ruosheng looked at each other, and both mother and daughter had smiles in their eyes.
They had long guessed that Chen Qingyin would ask for a doctor.
However, Liang Ruosheng was well prepared.
She had bribed the old doctor and asked him to confirm the fact that Chen Qingyin was pregnant no matter what he felt from her pulse.
Liang Yunyan was very excited. Chen Qingyin, just wait for your reputation to be ruined!
Hu Mianmian took in the subtle looks of the mother and daughter.
So you wanted to do something bad here, huh, it's not that easy.
Hu Mianmian looked towards the old doctor, her eyes swirling with golden light.
The old doctor stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then he withdrew his hand.
"My dear old lady, the first lady is not pregnant."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Especially Liang Yunyan, who opened her mouth in surprise.
Liang Ruosheng blurted out: "How is it possible!"
Chen Qingyin handed the handkerchief to Linlang and raised her eyebrows slowly: "How is it impossible? I don't have any children. Can I become pregnant out of thin air?"
Liang Yunyan was surprised: "This, this..."
This is not right. The old doctor took the money but didn't do what they asked.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the old doctor said, "I have a gambling debt outside and I need money to pay it back urgently, otherwise the other party will come to my house to make trouble, so I agreed to the Hu family's bribery. They asked me to say that no matter what pulse I feel, the fact is that the eldest lady is pregnant."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old doctor quickly covered his mouth.
The guests became agitated.
"What is this old doctor talking about? He was actually bribed?"
"Why would the Hu family bribe the doctor to frame their own daughter-in-law?"
"This family is too chaotic, they are worse than a small family like us!"
Chen Qingyin seized the opportunity and forced out a few tears, looking at Old Madam Hu as if she had suffered countless grievances.
"I call you my mother, why do you treat me like this? You hired a doctor to destroy my innocence. What did I do wrong to deserve such an injustice?"
Madam Hu was stunned, then she became furious: "How should I know what's going on! Liang Ruosheng, you brought this doctor back, you must know something!"
Liang Ruosheng's lips trembled: "No, I didn't wrongly accuse her. This pregnancy-preserving medicine was found in the kitchen. It must have belonged to Chen Qingyin."
Hu Mianmian walked forward with her small feet.
She blinked her big eyes and said, "But there are so many people in the mansion, and my mother is not the only woman. All of you present should let the doctor feel your pulse."
One of the guests stood up, bowed and said, "I am the apprentice of Wang Shi, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. I have been practicing medicine for twelve years. If the Madam trusts me, I can check the pulse of the women present."
Chen Qingyin was pleasantly surprised and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, now show my mother, Madam Liang, and my younger sister who took the pregnancy-preserving medicine."
Mr. Hu looked at Grandma Gao and said, "It's not you, is it?"
"No, of course not!" Grandma Gao waved her hands repeatedly.
Hu Lan's face had turned pale.
She did take the pregnancy-preserving medicine, but it shouldn't have been hers.
Because she had someone deal with the drug residue long ago, unless her maid didn't do it properly!
Liang Yunyan stared at Chen Qingyin and refused to let the young doctor see her.
Chen Qingyin laughed: "Why, I can accept a thorough pulse examination, but Madam Liang can't? If you are pregnant in the Hu Mansion, tell us who that person is as soon as possible. With your husband's kindness to my husband, how can we not help you?"
In just one sentence, Liang Yunyan was described as a woman who committed adultery.
Living in Hu's house, yet doing such an unbecoming thing.
The guests around her looked at her with different eyes.
In order to prove her innocence, Liang Yunyan stretched out her hand hastily: "Just check it, I'm not pregnant at all, I'm not afraid!"
The young doctor came forward to feel the pulse of each patient one by one. When it was Hu Lan's turn, she was afraid to stretch out her hand.
Mrs. Hu's heart almost stopped beating. She stared and asked, "Lan'er? What's wrong with you? Why don't you dare to reach out?"
"I, I..." Hu Lan stammered, and finally she could only cry, "Mother, don't check, the pregnancy-preserving medicine is mine!"
The guests were shocked and astonished.
Isn't Miss Hu still unmarried? How did she get pregnant?
Both Mrs. Hu and Mr. Hu were shocked.
Soon, Mrs. Hu reacted.
The baby in her daughter's belly is most likely the one from Mr. Zhang, the gift of the house.
Mr. Hu slapped his thigh and said, "It's a misfortune for our family! It's a misfortune for our family! You actually did such a shameful thing as getting pregnant before marriage. I will beat you to death!"
He picked up a stool and was about to hit Hu Lan.
The servants around rushed to stop him, and Mr. Hu fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Matron Gao rushed over and burst into tears.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Hu Mianmian sneered at the dumbfounded expressions of Liang Yunyan and her daughter.
They are the dumbest of the two, thinking they can hurt their mother, but they end up dropping the stone on Hu Lan's foot.
See how they end this time!
